Microbial Metabolic Engineering and Bioproduction

This cluster of papers focuses on the field of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, with an emphasis on genome-scale models, constraint-based models, and their application in biofuel production, microbial metabolism, pathway reconstruction, and biorefineries. The papers cover topics such as flux balance analysis, high-quality genome-scale metabolic reconstructions, programming cells for accelerated evolution, and the use of synthetic protein scaffolds to control metabolic flux.
